VISOR.

Application :tiled` July 6, 1925. Serial No. 41,691.

The object of this invention is to Aprovide an auxiliary shield or visor o1c very simple construction which may be manufactured at slight cost, preferably from sheetmetal.

t isa further object of the invention to so i'orm the visor that it may be mounted upon a conventional automobile windshield without the use of fastenings other than those supplied lby the windshield parts. Thus I have so designed visor that it maybe held in position by the parts constituting the trunnion serving for the pivotal mountingk of one or' the windshield sections upon the usual standards. As an additional securing means I also make use of the bow supports provided on the upper portions of these standards and I have furnished my visor with portions engaging over the bow supports and held in place by the top in its normal position. y

Referring now to the drawings:

Figurel shows an end elevation of my improved visor in assembled position; y y

FigureA 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure l;

Figure 3 is a'perspective view olf the visor; while Figure 4 is a fragmentary view corresponding to Figure l showing` a modiiication. V

The reference character 2 indicates one of the usual standards serving to support the windshield sections, a portion of one of which is shown at 4 in Figure 2. The windshield section is mounted upon the standards by trunnions indicated, generally, by the reference character 6, each of said trunnions having a portion 7 secured to thewindshield section and another portion indicated by the reference character 8 j ournaled in aperture 9 in the standard. Secured to the outer poila tion of the trunnion member by means of screw bolt 12 is a cap member l0 having an annular shouldered portion 14 and serving to frictionally hold the trunnion member and its associated windshield section in any position of adjustment. Projecting. upwardly from the standard 2 is a stud 16 serving to support the usuall top bow indicated at 17 in Figure 1.

All the parts so far described form no part of my invention.

I have indicated my improved visor by the reference character 20. This visor is preferably formed of sheet metal and comprises top portion 22 and end members 24. To secure rigidity I have preferably formed the ends orn the top member or double thickness, as shown 26, accomplishing this by setting the end members 24 inwardly or" the ends of he top member. The k'forwardly projecting side of the top member' is preferably up'-y turned as shown at 23 to servel as atroughr l have provided the top member 22 with perforated ears 3G adapted to engage over 'therbow supporting members 16, as shown in Figure l. l have also provided the end members 24 with rearwardly projecting `ears 32 which may be provided with in-turned inner edges as shown at 34. `These ears are adapted to be received between the cap members l0 vand the standards 2 and to be held in position thereby.

t will be apparent that my visor isl secured inposition by passing the ears 30 over the bowsupports 16 whereupon the top bow member may be secured in position and then inserting the in-turned lportions 34 of the ears 32 within the apertures 9, rst removing the cap members 10 and spreading the endmembers 24 slightly apart to eii'ect the positioning. By now applying the cap members 10 the ears 32 may be clamped to the standard, It is obvious that while I have provided my visor with ears 30 and also ears 32, the former preventing rotation of the visor when the windshield section isadjusted, yet it is obvious that either securing means may be used without the other ii desired.

In the modification shown in Figure 4 the ears 30 are adj ustably connected to the visor by means of the fastening means 31 and the slot 33. rlhis permits a slight swinging adjustment of the visor.

l claim:

l. A windshield visor formed from single piece of material, including a panel extending across the front of the windshield, integral downturned ears fory eng'a J eniei1t with the windshield trunnion bearings, and integral rearwardly extending ears adapted for engagement with top attachment bolts.

2. The combination of a standard having a top supporting member projecting therefrom, means for securing a windshield upon the standard, and an auxiliary shield having j .isY securet 3. The combination of a pair of spaced standards having studs extending therefrom, atop secured to said studs, a windshield, trunnion bearings in said standards for pivotally mounting the windshield thereto, a visor formed from a single piece ot material consisting ot a top portion extending across the windshield and downturned side portions, said side portions having attachment with the trunnion bearings and the top portion having attachment with the top securing studs.

The combination of a top, supports hava shouldered portion and a stud extendiipwardly therefrom to which said top a windshield, trunnion bearings for pivotally mounting said windshield in said su) orts anda visor consistinv of a i tion.

panel portion, downturned ears secured to the supports by means of said windshield trunnion bearings and rearwardly extending ears positioned on said studs between the shouldered portion and top.- i e The combination of a plurality ot standards having ii-"\vaiclly projectino top supporting portions, a. shield member mounted'on said standards Jfor rotary ad justiiient with respect thereto, said shield member having parts tor engagement with said upwardly projecting top supporting portions to hold said member against rota- 6. The combination ot a plurality of spaced standards having trunnion portions tor pi'votally mounting a part thereto and upwardly projecting portions at their upper extremitiesI toi' detachably' securing a part thereto, a shield member having portions adapted for engagement with said trunnion portions for rotary adjustment ot the shield with respect thereto, and other portions adapted for engagement with said upwardly projecting` portions to hold the shield against rotation.

7. The 'combination ot' a plurality ot spaced standards having truiinion portions and upwardly projecting portions, an auxiliary shieldV member made of resilient material and comprising a top portion and side portions, means associated with said top poi'- tion tor engagement with said upwardly projecting portions, and means associated with said side portions adapted tor seating engagement with said trunnien portions tions adjustably associated with the. shield member and adapted for engagement with said upwardly projecting portions for con` trolling the rotary adjustment of the shield.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
